Israeli Army spokesman Daniel Hagari assured this Sunday that in the coming days the amount of humanitarian aid that is entering the Gaza Strip will further increase, including food, water, medical supplies and shelter equipment.
“In recent weeks, the amount of aid in Gaza has increased significantly. In the coming days, it will continue to increase more,” he said today in an appearance.
Hagari explained that this increase is due to “the greatest efforts” that have been carried out in recent weeks, such as the opening of the port of Ashdood, in the south of the country, and also the opening of a new crossing in the north of Gaza. .
“We have increased the amount of aid coming from Jordan through the Kerem Shalom crossing,” the Army spokesman added.
On the other hand, he confirmed that they continue to work together with the United States Central Command for the construction of a temporary maritime dock, with the aim of establishing another route to deliver aid to the hungry Gazan population.
Human rights organizations have been accusing Israel for months of turning “hunger into a weapon of war,” since they assure that blockades continue to occur at border crossings and that part of this aid does not reach the north of the enclave, where at least 300,000 people are exposed to famine.
Some 27 people have already died from severe acute malnutrition and dehydration in northern Gaza, 21 of them children, according to data from the Gazan government.
The Army also reported this Sunday afternoon that its troops last night began various “defensive and offensive” missions in the Palestinian enclave to locate and “destroy” Hamas infrastructure.
“The operations are carried out while protecting the Central Corridor area of the Gaza Strip and taking measures to facilitate the transfer of humanitarian aid,” they indicated in a military statement. EFE
